Then, because I have houseguests...here we are at brunch this morning...

and didn't want to change clothes so many times, I hung my recent acquisitions on the fence...

From the left, a linen plaid from who knows where in Louise Cutting's "Relax a Little", a polka-dot knit, also from the stash, in Sewing Workshop's"West End", then a RTW ombre sundress by Luna Luz.

Then, a reversible georgette skirt from Orvis, a linen bias skirt from eBay, another Luna Luz skirt, and a black linen button-down skirt, also from Orvis.I think that's enough for now!My local sewing friend, Robyn, loaned me two dress patterns last week, and is trying to talk me into sewing a couple of dresses...I start with a physical trainer tomorrow, who will provide me with some exercises not requiring a left foot...and see the doctor on Tuesday with the possibility of wearing running shoes with my new orthotics on a part-timebasis. Yay!Check out Visible Monday, where the ever-gracious Patti provides us with anopportunity to be VERY visible...TTYL

Yes, you are very well skirted now! Love the ones you made, as well as your purchases. I see you've figured out that wearing a heel on the other foot helps balance your body as you amble around in your boot. (Been there, done that!) Very cute red shoes. As always, it's great to see your smiling face!

Thanks, Lois. My sewing machines are a Bernina 430 and a Brother ? for backup. I have a BabyLock Eclipse DX 4 Thread Serger. I'm happy with them all. I would love a Coverstitch machine, but I'm not sure which one I will wind up buying.

Glad your skirts are working out for you. You look pretty grand in them just because of your elegant persona! Frankly, I'm surprised you haven't gone completely palazzo-pants with your skills, and made a chic boot cover or two! Hope you're healing up apace, and that you're enjoying the summer anyway!

Hi Margy-you look so cute in skirts. I'm glad you hung the rest of the lineup on the fence so you could minimize changing-a woman who knows the value of each step taken! Be sure to do everything the PT says (shaking my finger at you with a smile).

Love the read skirt. It hangs so nicely and the length is very flattering. I'll have to take a second look at that pattern. I'm interested in learning about Louise Cutting's waist band technique. Is it from one of her videos?

About Me

I've been sewing for 65+ years, with several long sabbaticals. DH and I owned a vineyard and winery for many years, but now we travel and enjoy our life. I've collected fabrics and textiles from all over the world and enjoy using some of them in my sewing.
